Rioting in Pakistan continues - Los Angeles Times

Paramilitary troops in the most volatile areas have been given permission to use deadly force against rioters.
Rioting in Pakistan continues - Los Angeles Times We continue to see unrest and violence in Pakistan today.  I worry when the government (see Musharraf) has authorized his troops to use deadly force against citizens of his own country.  I feel for those troops, firing their weapon at a fellow citizen must be one of the hardest and most difficult things they will ever have to do.  Let's hope Musharraf still has control over the military and the nuclear weapons.  I see a great deal of risk in the India / Pakistan situation if Musharraf can't prove he has control.
